Author Guidelines

Information for Authors

This guideline is intended to assist authors as they prepare their manuscripts. To avoid any delay and time-consuming restructuring, we ask and encourage authors to read the guidelines before writing the manuscript.

Tech Science Press publishes review and research articles. All papers must be written in English, and follow a clear, concise style. Our language editors may have to check the language and grammar of your submitted manuscript and make editorial changes if deemed necessary.

1. Cover Letter

A submitted manuscript must be accompanied by a cover letter. Such a cover letter must clearly state that the manuscript is an original work with its own merit, has not been previously published in whole or in part, and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. There should also include one statement clearly indicating that all authors have read the manuscript, have all agreed that the work is ready for submission to the select journal, and have accepted full responsibilities pertaining to the manuscript’s delivery and contents. If there are any ethical, copyright, disclosure issues that come with the manuscript, please reveal them in the cover letter.

The authors are free to reuse their published articles for non-commercial purposes.

When using for commercial purposes, the authors should obtain permission and a fee may apply.

10. Permission for the third parties

Any third parties are free to reuse, change and build upon the work for non-commercial purposes.

A proper acknowledged and citation is required for such permission.

A fee may apply if a third party wants to reproduce a work for commercial purposes.

11. Publishing Policy

The most important criterion for acceptance is the originality of the work.

A decision to accept a manuscript is not based solely on the scientific validity of its content.

Other factors may affect decisions, such as the extent and importance of the paper.

12. Plagiarism Policy

12.1 Duplicate manuscript submission

All manuscripts submitted to our journals must be original. Upon submission of a manuscript, it is assumed that no similar manuscript has been or will be submitted to any other journal for publication. It is considered unethical to submit an identical manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. Multiple submissions of the same paper can damage the reputation of journals if published in more than one journal. Duplicate publications or redundant publications (re-packaging in different words of data already published by the same authors) will be rejected.

12.2 Plagiarism and other fraud

It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that they pay particular attention to the originality of their work. Upon submission, all manuscripts are rigorously evaluated to identify any previously published material. Concerning the submitted figures, images are routinely examined for the presence of duplicated, or otherwise apparently anomalous, data. Authors should therefore retain their unprocessed data and metadata files, as the Editor may request them to aid in the evaluation of the manuscript. Authors should note that, if the unprocessed data are unavailable, this may lead to a delay in manuscript evaluation until the issue is resolved. If the journal Editor has reason to suspect that a manuscript is plagiarized or fraudulent, they reserve the right to raise their concerns to the authors' sponsoring institution and any other relevant bodies.

12.3 Misconduct

If misconduct by authors or reviewers is suspected, either pre- or post-publication action will be taken. In cases where misconduct, or otherwise unethical behavior, on the part of the authors is suspected after a paper is published (even several years after the paper has been published), a preliminary investigation will be conducted, following the guidance offered in the flowcharts of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (https://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts) and the guidelines of ICMJE (http://www.icmje.org/). An explanation will be sought from the party or parties considered to be involved.

13. Submission Method

Manuscripts may be submitted only via our online system at http://www.tspsubmission.com. Manuscripts submitted by other methods (e.g., hard copy, e-mail) will not be processed.

Authors need to create a user account, log into the account, and follow a step-by-step, easy-to-follow process to complete a submission process. Authors may also exit and reenter the submission process at any time.
